The orientation is vertical.
With some light, look for some deposits that may have formed where the seal sits. I think tha the stat only fits one way around and cannot be installed bassakwards.
If it leaks there, do not overtighten the bolts, this cannot add any pressure to the seal as the cap has already gone metal to metal. If the head gets stripped or a bolt breaks...
The small hoses near by will probably leak if reused with the OEM gear clamps. Get some narrower SS clamps from the hardware store and put a layer of duct tape folded over on itself, between the clamp and hose so that the slots in the clamp band to not cut/extrude the rubber.
This would be the time for a flush. Search drs<underscore>install and read my cooling system posts from years ago.
